Photographer Bob Barbour’s classic images of Jay Moriarity at Mavericks will be on display until January 31, 2008 at The Mill Gallery at 131 Front St., in Santa Cruz. The images are part of the Surf City, Santa Cruz exhibit.
At Maverick’s, the fabled surf break near Half Moon Bay, surf stories take on a dimension of the epic and that 16-year-old’s wipeout at Mav’s on a December day in 1994 ranks as one of the most talked about single incidents in the history of California surfing, thanks to two people: the hero, young Santa Cruzan Jay Moriarity, and the witness, veteran surf photographer Bob Barbour.
The show also features photos of Jay since the time he was a 13-year-old nose riding at Pleasure Point.
